I thought I would just do a general update. Things have been extremely busy for me and Graham. October flew by and now we are well into November!
Graham has made it through his 4th year of medicine unharmed (at least on the outside). He finished his last exams for the year last week and is having a great time being a house husband at the moment. This week he has played squash, golf and lawn bowls, he fixed our home desktop computer, did the laundry, made dinners, and did half of the dishes most of the week. He does not like to do the silverware and leaves them for me to do.. so kind of him. He is a free man from now until mid January, and I have to say its nice to just have his full attention. Wives of medical school students don't get a lot of "extra" attention, they are busy and need to spend tons of time studying... so its great to just come home and have a chat with Graham instead of saving up all the things I want to tell him over the course of a few days, and then unleash it on him in one big 40 minute long "update" session.
I have been busy with work, as well as outside of work commitments. I have been working as assistant director on a show at the Old Mill Theatre in South Perth. The show is directed by my friend Sue Lynch and is called Daisy Pulls it Off . The cast is made of up young people (under 17) and adults. Its an english school girls (boarding school) comedy. Its set in the 1930s and is full of gags and lots of sillyness. Its been a fun project for me, and has kept me busy while Graham was studying. Some images for the show below. Daisy Pulls it Off opens on November 25th and runs into December.
I am also busy planning my 30th birthday party on November 18th with Graham. It has a Thanksgiving theme, but I think the only Thanksgiving themed item at the party will be my and the poor turkey. This being said I plan to soon write a blog about all the different ways one can purchase turkey in Australia.. I am blown away folks. Let me just say that there will be a 5 kilo turkey "log" at my party... yes.. your read that correctly. A TURKEY LOG.
I have also been spending time improving my running. I am running a short 7.5km run on November 27th. But I want to do this run well and in good time. I really enjoy doing my evening runs, the weather this Australian spring has been great for running, even if its been a little rainy. I am not sure if I am going to be able to continue my running during my American winter visit home.. but I might try.. (yeah after 2 burritos and a plate of wings, I am sure I am going to feel like running in the freezing air) But you can let me dream!
Well that about raps it up. More soon I promise..
PS. I am growing tomato plants for the first time in Australia at the moment, and ate my first one last night. It was delicious.
